I have been in business long enough to see that even big and successful businesses fail. Yes big and notable brands. The only difference between the ones that succeed and fail is that they will continue to find ways to overcome all challenges and obstacles. The reality in business and life is very simple. We only fail when we stop trying to find ways to move forward. The secret to success is really that simple. Just don’t stop. Just don’t quit. All the best and have a great week ahead. 💪🔥

That's a powerful and inspiring perspective! The business world is full of uncertainties, and even the most established brands can face setbacks. However, what truly differentiates successful businesses from those that fail is their ability to adapt, innovate, and keep pushing forward despite obstacles. The same principle applies to life. Challenges are inevitable, but persistence is what defines long-term success. Growth happens when we embrace difficulties as learning opportunities and continuously seek solutions. Those who refuse to give up, no matter how tough the journey gets, ultimately find new ways to evolve and thrive. Your message is a great reminder that resilience and determination are the real secrets to success. As long as we keep moving forward, we never truly fail. Thanks for sharing this wisdom Mr. Ernie.
In sales, we see this truth every day. Success isn’t about avoiding challenges but relentlessly pushing through them. At PORTMAN, we live by this mindset. Every 'no' is a step closer to a 'yes,' and every obstacle is just a problem waiting for our solution.
Your words reinforce why we never settle, never stop iterating, and never quit. It’s what separates us from the competition. Let’s keep charging forward—failure isn’t an option when persistence is our culture.
Thanks for the fuel. The team’s fired up! 🔥
Such a powerful reminder, Mr. Ernie! Persistence and resilience truly make all the difference. Life and business are full of ups and downs, but if we keep pushing through the tough times and never give up, things will eventually get better. Success isn’t about avoiding obstacles, it’s about how we rise after each setback. Thank you, Mr. Ernie, for sharing these words of wisdom, it's a great boost for staying motivated, no matter the challenges ahead!

That was amazing Mr Ernie! This statement is a powerful reminder that persistence is the key to success. Even the biggest brands face setbacks, but what sets them apart is their determination to keep pushing forward. In both business and life, challenges are inevitable, but as long as we keep looking for solutions and refuse to quit, we never truly fail. Success isn’t always about winning—it’s about never giving up. Keep going, stay resilient, and trust the process!
Failure isn’t the opposite of success, it’s part of the journey. Every mistake teaches a lesson, every setback builds resilience. Keep going, keep learning, and trust that each failure brings us one step closer to success. The only way to truly fail is to give up.
Agree Mr Ernie, Success isn’t about never facing obstacles but about how we respond to them. The key is to keep moving forward, learning, and adapting along the way. Challenges are part of the journey, but perseverance is what sets true winners apart. Keep trying and never give up!💪🏻

This applies to being human too. Life, just like business, throws all sorts of challenges at us, but as long as we keep pushing forward, we never really fail. Those who adapt and find solutions are the ones who make it. It’s really about refusing to quit, no matter what.
Well said! Adaptability and perseverance are the keys to long-term success.

Absolutely true! Persistence is the key to success. Thanks for sharing this inspiring message Mr. Ernie.
All the motivational quotes of successful people, if we read and understand them, each and every quote is actually talking about Never Give Up, Don't Quit, Perseverance, Keep Pushing, Stay Hustle — all are coming back to one meaning behind it, it's called Never Give Up.
Yes sir. I will not give up on what we are working on and will stay focused on our ultimate objective to make dreams come true.
Failure is painful, keeping failing is even more painful, but once we keep pushing and break through until we succeed, it will heal it all and make us even stronger. No matter what, Don't g
Give Up!
Great insight, Mr. Ernie! Success isn’t about never failing, it’s about never giving up. Those who keep pushing forward and adapting are the ones who thrive. Wishing everyone a strong and productive week ahead! -Husna-

Absolutely spot on! The business world is ever-changing, and even the strongest brands can fall if they stop evolving. The true mark of success isn’t just about having a great product or service but it’s about resilience, adaptability, and the relentless pursuit of solutions. Those who keep pushing forward, no matter the setbacks, are the ones who truly make it. The moment you stop looking for ways to grow, improve, and overcome, that’s when failure sets in. So, the key is simple just keep moving, keep learning, and never stop. Wishing you a fantastic and productive week ahead! Let’s keep pushing forward!

Perseverance and adaptability are truly what separate those who succeed from those who don’t. Every business, no matter how big or small, faces challenges, but the ones that make it are the ones that keep finding ways to push forward.
Agree. Success is rarely a straight path. It comes from facing difficulties, learning from mistakes, and finding solutions. Every day is a journey with its own challenges, and the only way to move forward is to keep going. If we stop, we remain stuck, but if we keep pushing, even in small steps, we will eventually reach where we want to be.
Love this perspective! It’s so true no matter how big or successful a business is, challenges are inevitable. The ones that survive aren’t necessarily the biggest or the strongest, but the ones that keep pushing forward, finding new ways to adapt and grow. Sometimes, it’s easy to feel stuck or discouraged, but as you said, the real failure is when we stop trying. Such a simple yet powerful reminder. Thanks for sharing this definitely the kind of motivation I needed today! Wishing you an amazing week ahead too!
Agreed. Business isn’t always smooth, and even the big names face tough times.
What makes the difference is not giving up. Keep learning, keep adjusting, and keep moving forward.

Wow..I agree...a great and powerful message from you Sir
That's right, we need to practice ourselves to have great patience and strength because success awaits us there after we try our best.
Truly inspiring! Success isn’t about never facing challenges, but about having the resilience to push through them. This mindset separates those who thrive from those who fade. Thank you for the wisdom—wishing everyone a strong and successful week ahead!
Yes, I agree with that, Mr. Ernie. A person who is afraid of failure will easily give up on everything. All successful people and entrepreneurs persist in what they want to do, and they try many different ways to make it happen—just like what the PORTMAN team is doing right now. Your words always inspire the team: never quit, never give up, never stop, and more. Thank you for your quotes and motivation!
Yes! Success is a journey of constant learning and adapting. The key is to keep moving, no matter how small the steps are.
Yes, the secret sauce is just not stopping. Where there's a will, there's a way.
Indeed Mr. Ernie, resilience is the real secret to success. No matter how tough the journey gets, the key is to keep going. Never stop adapting, learning, and pushing forward.
The only real failure is when we choose to quit. So no matter what happens—just. don’t. stop. 💪🔥
Yes, absolutely agree, Mr. Ernie! We can't stop trying until we achieve what we want. Life keeps moving forward, and we must keep pushing if we want to grow and survive. Your words truly resonate. This applies not just to business but to life as well. Success comes to those who refuse to quit. Thank you for the inspiring reminder!

Simple, yet so meaningful and impactful — keep moving.
I used to believe that “enough is enough,” cukup cukup sudah, when I was younger. We often do our best within what we think are our limits, and when we feel we can’t go further, we settle by saying, “good enough will do.” But as I grew older, I began to understand what “enough” really means.
As we go through different stages of life, our limits grow with us. There’s no such thing as a final “enough,” because everything around us continues to evolve — our parents grow older, our responsibilities increase, our desires shift, the world advances, the younger generation becomes more competitive, and the economy constantly changes.
To keep up with life and stay in the game, the only way is to keep moving — to become better, stronger, and smarter (because we’ve failed enough to learn valuable life lessons). That’s how we achieve more, earlier and easier — not just for ourselves, but also to give more to our families and to contribute meaningfully to society when we choose to.
Holding onto scarcity or anxiety won’t change anything. Progress might not guarantee immediate results, but standing still guarantees that nothing will ever change.
So, don’t complain — just keep smiling and keep going until you reach where you truly want to be. Nothing is easy, but everything is possible.
